This includes founding a leading sales and distribution company in Canada which supplied marketing, packaging and point-of-sale communication materials to Fortune 500 companies in the restaurant, hospitality and automotive industries.

Mr. Doerr, Regional Sales Director of Kush Supply Co., has considerable experience in the regulated retail environment, with a decade of experience at British American Tobacco, where he worked in front-line sales and in project management, leading new product innovations. Most recently, Mark was a Senior Sales Manager with Lift & Co., a nascent cannabis technology company specializing in event sales, data analytics and retail training for the cannabis retail environment.

“Canada has become a global leader in national cannabis reform with its adult-use program, and we are excited to support the significant growth happening in this market,” said Nick Kovacevich, CEO of Kush Bottles. “We believe Kush Supply Co. is well situated to capitalize on the momentum in Canada leading up to its national launch later this year. By leveraging our supply chain efficiencies, we are extremely well positioned to serve the current needs of the Canadian market, and to adapt to future needs as the regulatory structure evolves and the market expands.”

“Gordon and Mark have the experience, operational expertise, and understanding of the Canadian business and cultural environment necessary to lead our expansion into the emerging adult-use market, thus strengthening our position as an international leader in the cannabis industry,” continued Mr. Kovacevich. “Our Canadian expansion is a critical milestone in our international expansion plans and we expect this growing footprint to positively impact our total company revenues as we look to expand our presence beyond the United States.”
